S. dentisani was effectively reclassified as Streptococcus oralis subspecies dentisani by Jensen et al (2016) and there exist two other closely related subspecies, S. oralis ssp. oralis and S. oralis ssp. tigurinus (Zbinden et al, 2012; Jensen et al, 2016; Conrads et al, 2017)
Primer specificity was evaluated with DNA from S. mutans, S. sobrinus, S. sanguinis, S. salivarius, S. mitis, S. pneumoniae, S. infantis, and S. oralis ATCC 35037T
Summary
A commentary on Health-Associated Niche Inhabitants as Oral Probiotics: The Case of Streptococcus dentisani by López-López, A., Camelo-Castillo, A., Ferrer, M. We comment on López-López et al and their contributions on Streptococcus dentisani, especially the species-specific primers, buffering capacity, and prevalence in the oral cavity of healthy individuals (Camelo-Castillo et al, 2014; López-López et al, 2017), and its infective potential. López-López et al studied the capacity of strains 7746 and 7747T for buffering low pH and preventing overgrowth of acidogenic and aciduric cariogenic species such as Streptococcus mutans.
